Cultural Warrior Jaidyn and the King of the Brooklyn Carnival: The Carlos Lezama Children's Story
Eight-year-old Jaidyn lives in Brooklyn where he embraces his culture, especially after he becomes mesmerized by all he has heard about Carlos Lezama and the history of the Labor Day Carnival. As he listens to his Gran-Gran tell fascinating stories about Lezama and his lifelong affair with the early steelbands, mas, calypso, and the magic of the Trinidad Carnival, Jaidyn decides he wants to know more. Finally with help from his Gran-Gran, Jaidyn visits a mas camp where costumes are designed and the pan yard where the musicians practice. After he learns how the costumes and steelband music come to life on Eastern Parkway every year, Jaidyn transforms into a cultural warrior who understands that if you can believe it, the mind can achieve it. In this juvenile novel, an eight-year-old boy is transported on an imaginative journey through the experiences of Carlos Lezama as his Gran-Gran relays captivating tales of the Trinidad Carnival.

City Twilight
Equilibrium is articulated in this new collection: it is sun and horizon, the bridge between light and darkness, Jouvay and Las Lap, the book ends of the Carnival; and in the middle, the ordinariness of life and personal journey as the axis turns. "City Twilight" is an unknown steelband taking us through the unmasking of life in the bundles of the day's news dropped off at the news stand, fresh bread; a street sweeper after the commerce of the day, an evening landscape, language and experience."Dawad Philip is a national treasure who uses his many talents and creative skills as a writer, designer, artist, poet and entrepreneur to capture and distil in whichever medium or combination of outle...
A Mural by the Sea
Poetry and masquerade have always resided in me. I know them to be inspired, and when well rendered, magical. From San Fernando to Brooklyn, poetry is the Carnival, and the Trinidad Carnival finds its way into my poetry-as visual and oral experience-everyday living, a painted face J'ouvert morning. Many of the poems in this volume have aged with me and over that time, and again like my own life, been transformed into some measure of sustained lucidity. The heart of these poems speaks to ordinary men and women and the world about them. From this landscape, language and experience comes "A Mural by the Sea"."In A Mural by the Sea, and after a long wait, Dawad Philip has presented us with a bri...

Self Portrait in Green
'NDiaye is a hypnotic storyteller with an unflinching understanding of the rock-bottom reality of most people's life.' New York Times ' One of France's most exciting prose stylists.' The Guardian. Obsessed by her encounters with the mysterious green women, and haunted by the Garonne River, a nameless narrator seeks them out in La Roele, Paris, Marseille, and Ouagadougou. Each encounter reveals different aspects of the women; real or imagined, dead or alive, seductive or suicidal, driving the narrator deeper into her obsession, in this unsettling exploration of identity, memory and paranoia. Self Portrait in Green is the multi-prize winning, Marie NDiaye's brilliant subversion of the memoir. Written in diary entries, with lyrical prose and dreamlike imagery, we start with and return to the river, which mirrors the narrative by posing more questions than it answers.
